Zhao Guogong's Mansion, in the courtyard where Xiao Chen's family lives.

Xiao Chen took off his plain clothes, changed into clean and comfortable clothes, and walked towards the couch while gently hanging his neck.

Xiao Chen's family has not been a housekeeper for a long time, and today he has been busy with a whole day's funeral, to welcome the guests who can't be neglected, to arrange the errands of the next person everywhere, and to take care of the emotions of Zhao Guogong and Aunt Xia, tired all day, although not in a hurry, but also a little overdrawn.

Han Mo twisted a wet handkerchief and handed it to Xiao Chen, saying, "Madam, wipe your face." ”

Xiao Chen nodded, "um", and then took the handkerchief and put it on his face.

Han Mo took the handkerchief used by Xiao Chen again, put it back in the copper basin, and sighed: "Young Master Xiao has never been filial and respectful to his wife since he was a child, but now he needs his wife to take care of his afterlife." ”

When Han said these words, he was somewhat upset for Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen didn't care so much, and said, "I always belong to his mother-in-law, and I should take care of these things for him." After all, this child is also pitiful, I have never done my mother's duty to teach him with my heart, and my grandfather has never taken him seriously, and he has fallen into this fate, which is somewhat of my dereliction of duty. ”

Han Mo said: "Why does Madam have to take everything on herself. "Meng Xiao will have today, half of Aunt Xia's responsibility and half of his own responsibility, even if the three of the mother and children of the concubine are half respectful to the lady, or half of the self-knowledge, they will not be like this.

Han Mo didn't say more, beckoned the maid to take out the water in the copper basin and pour it out.

Xiao Chen said again: "Aunt Xia is in an unstable mood today and her physical condition is not good, although she invited a doctor to give her a soothing tea, but she still needs to let her people watch her more at night, lest she do anything stupid." ”

Han Mo said: "Yes, I will tell her the maid in that courtyard." ”

The master and servant were talking, but suddenly they heard a noise outside, as if something had been kicked down and made a clanging sound, mixed with the chaotic footsteps.

The master and servant turned their heads to look, and then saw Zhao Guogong drunk and staggered in. thought that he was unsteady in walking, and even knocked down the copper basin in the maid's hand. The water in the copper basin was poured out at once and sprinkled on Zhao Guogong's body, and half of his clothes were wet.

When the maid saw it, she quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, grandpa." ”

Zhao Guogong didn't care about the wet clothes, stretched out his hand to push her away, and scolded: "Get out." Then he continued to stagger forward, directly in the direction of Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen stood up from his seat, looked at him and frowned, and said, "Grandpa, although there is no reason for elders to keep filial piety to juniors, after all, Xiao'er has just gone, and it is not good for you to get drunk after all." ”

Although Han Mo didn't speak, he stood quietly in front of Xiao Chen, in case Zhao Guogong would suddenly go crazy again.

Zhao Guogong naturally found out, glared at Han and said, "Get out, let me go out." ”

Han Mo didn't let him, and persuaded softly: "Grandpa, you are drunk, and the slave maid asked the maid to help you go back to sober up." ”

Zhao Guogong pointed at Han Mo and said, "You dog slave, do you think that I don't know what you're thinking, do you think that I will hurt your master? I tell you, I ...... it, master" said and patted his chest vigorously, burped, and continued: "Master, I am your master's husband, do you know what husband means, the word husband is out of the sky, master, I am your master's heaven." After saying that, he continued to step forward.

Han Mo hurriedly stepped forward, supported him and said, "Grandpa, you are really drunk." ”

Zhao Guogong pushed her away, and then said angrily: "Get out, I want to talk to my wife alone." Seeing that Han refused to leave, he said, "If you don't go out, I'll kill you if you don't go out." And after she finished speaking, she really looked left and right, and then found a fruit knife from the fruit bowl on the table in the room, and said to Han: "You can't get out, you can't get out." ”

Han Mo exclaimed in surprise when he saw it, and now he felt that Zhao Guogong was probably really crazy.

Xiao Chen also frowned when he saw it, his face was slightly anxious, and he hurriedly glanced at Han Mo and said, "Han Mo, you go out first." ”

Han was worried about Xiao Chen, and called out worriedly: "Madam." ”

Xiao Chen said: "Don't worry, he won't hurt me." This self-confidence is still there, and Xiao Chen still has it.

Han Mo looked at Xiao Chen and then at Zhao Guogong, regretting putting the knife on the table for a while, and for a while he was afraid that Zhao Guogong would really hurt people if he was drunk, and even more afraid that staying in the house would stimulate Zhao Guogong even more, so he hesitated for a while, and finally went out first.

As soon as Han Yu left, Zhao Guogong staggered and pounced, but he hugged Xiao Chen, and said with a smirk: "Yes, I won't hurt you." You are my wife, how can I be willing to hurt you. After so many years, you have done so many sorry things for me, and I am not willing to touch a single hair of yours. ”

When he said these words, he automatically ignored the connivance of Aunt Xia to deal with Xiao Chen's family over the years.

Xiao Chen didn't bother with him, just looked at the knife he was still holding in his hand, frowned, and said, "Grandpa, can you put the knife down first." ”

Zhao Guogong was obedient, threw the knife in his hand, and the knife lay directly on the ground.

Zhao Guogong hugged her tightly, buried his head in Xiao Chen's neck, and cried: "Ah Yue, Xiao'er is dead, my only son is dead, I have no son." ”

Xiao Chen sympathized with him a little and persuaded him: "The old man mourns." After a while, after the funeral of Xiao'er is completed, we will call some young children from the side branch to come over and have a look, and pass on a child. ”

Zhao Guogong suddenly became angry, pushed Xiao Chen away, glared at her and said, "I don't want to, why should I raise other people's children, I don't raise other people's children, never." ”

The voice was as if he was complaining, and it sounded like he was talking about his stepchild, but Xiao Chen felt that he might be complaining about something else.

Xiao Chen sighed softly, until now, the suspicion of Yu Yu's background was still a thorn in his heart.

Xiao Chen said: "If the grandfather doesn't want to succeed, then forget it." It's just that the Guogong Mansion has cut off the incense, and no one inherits the title, so I'm afraid that I will be sorry for the father-in-law and mother-in-law underground. ”

Zhao Guogong suddenly laughed again, staggered over, grabbed Xiao Chen's hand and said, "How can there be no incense, Ah Yue, we can give birth." Ah Yue, let's start again, you help me give birth to a son. I promise to be good to him, to teach him well, to teach him to read, to teach him to ride, to give him the best, and definitely not like to Tsu'er. Let's start over, let's start again together......" he said, holding her hard in his arms.

Xiao Chen said: "Grandpa is really drunk, and he even started talking nonsense." ”

Zhao Guogong became angry again, pushed her away and grabbed Xiao Chen's shoulders with both hands, making Xiao Chen so painful that he couldn't help frowning. Zhao Guogong's expression gradually darkened, and said, "You don't want to give birth to me, do you?" I know that you have avoided me for so many years, and you have never wanted to give birth to me. You don't want to give birth to whom...... you want to give birth to"
